Meditate On
But whatever I
am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me… I have worked
harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working
through me by His grace.
1 Corinthians
15:10, NLT
Grace To Do All Things Through
Christ
The apostle Paul
“worked harder than any of the other apostles.” But he attributed his success
to the favor or grace of God in his life.
My friend, God’s
grace will never provide you with reasons to just sit around and wait for a
miracle to fall into your lap. No, it will give you faith to believe that God
is working in and through you despite your limitations. It will give you a
get-up-and-go-for-it spirit. It will make you say, “I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)!
So in whatever
role or position you find yourself right now, see the Lord’s favor empowering
you to do what you need to with extraordinary diligence, creativity and
effectiveness. The more you lean on His grace in all that you do, the more you
allow Him to make you an excellent and extraordinary employee, manager,
business person, parent or minister. That’s how you allow Him to work in and through
you to bring you from one level of success to another!
BLESSINGS
